Copper-Transporting ATPases and Menkes Disease in PracticeMenkes disease is a rare X-linked disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ATP7A, which encodes a copper-transporting ATPase. Defective copper handling…
Platinum-group metal complexes in rheumatoid arthritis researchPlatinum-group metal complexes are being investigated for their ability to influence the inflammatory pathways associated with rheumatoid arthritis. The 16th…
Metallothioneins at the interface of metal control and healthMetallothioneins are small, cysteine-rich proteins that use thiol groups to bind zinc, copper, cadmium and other metals. The bioinorganic chemistry of…
Photocatalytic water splitting with cobalt and nickel catalystsPhotocatalytic water splitting converts sunlight into chemical fuel by driving the formation of hydrogen and oxygen from water. The process brings together…
Gallium strategies for cystic fibrosis infectionsCystic fibrosis creates a setting in which thick airway secretions encourage chronic infection, especially by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These organisms form…
Manganese clusters in artificial photosynthesisManganese clusters sit at the intersection of coordination chemistry, molecular catalysis and solar energy conversion. By arranging metal centres and bridging…
Iron signals, bacterial virulence and ISABC 2023Iron-dependent regulatory proteins in bacterial pathogenesis connect environmental metal availability to the genes that help pathogens survive, multiply and…
Cobalt Schiff base complexes as oxygen carriers in practiceCobalt Schiff base complexes offer a chemically tunable way to study how transition metals bind, carry and release dioxygen. Placing cobalt within the N2O2…
